Most makets we have visited over time conjure up some story we‘ve experienced or tastes we‘ve savoured. The main ingredient of these markets seems to be the cacophony of colours and textures which hit you as you merge within their stalls.

On a nippy autumn day, a dish like this Thai curry is just the thing to warm you up!
This paste has a definite Indian flavour to it though it originates from southern Thailand. It is one of the curry pastes I learned to make during our cooking course in Chiang Mai and it was my favourite dish.
